Narrative

As part of an integrated water and sanitation project, funds from this grant will be used to provide materials for latrines for 109 families, provide technical assistance and skilled labor for construction, and a community health education program.

Project Completion: Final Report

Status: Complete - Successful

Operating Status:

The project is complete, and a complete final report is available. However, I seem to be unable to attach it here. The report is at https://www.dropbox.com/s/xescwc784oopg4t/Final%20Report%20Mongallo%20Latrines%202012%20English.pdf

How it Works

Every field note helps building a history of activity at the project site. Every visit should result in a field note, including visits by peers and 3rd parties. Visits can be before implementation, during implementation and during operational state.

If the field note is during the operating phase of the project, then PWX considers the note as a verification note. Verification can show if the current operating state is different from that in the 'final' report and thus draw attention and resources to resolve issues.

Soon PWX AnalytiX will track the number of projects verified and combine that with the amount of time elapsed since 'completion', to summarize monitoring efforts and the sustainability of projects.

Sustainability

Creating and measuring long-term impact

Agua Para La Vida has been working with rural Nicaraguan communities for over 20 years. Our long-term presence in the region enables us to maintain contact with our partner communities to provide on-going assistance and assessment.

The community already has been organized for the project. Each family has individually signed a commitment to work the required number of man-days. The project will be kept under close observation by APLV for four to six months after completion, and then it will be formally handed over to the community as its owner. Beyond that time, APLV maintains contact with all communities it works with to assist in addressing any issues that arise. Hygiene education, a program that stretches over several years and reaches all homes, also will be incorporated into the school's program. Finally, reforestation will further protect the water sources.
